Introduction+Indigo Bananas Rez

Alrighty! Soooo...gonna give this whole Blogger thing a try. I've been posting swatches on my Tumblr blog for few months now, but I think a lot of people don't really "get" Tumblr, so I'm going to attempt to keep up with this version of my blog as well.

I'm a (nearly) 25-year-old girl who loves nail polish far too much. I got into this mess a little under a year ago when I got engaged and didn't want anyone to catch sight of my ugly, peeled, and bitten nails when checking out my ring. I can proudly say that I haven't bitten/peeled my nails since then!

You might notice that my fingers look a little strange (bent, swollen, or deflated) sometimes...that's because I have primary lymphedema praecox in all four extremities. Basically, my lymphatic system did not develop properly as I grew up, so I develop painful swelling in my limbs. The swelling comes and goes, which really messes with my skin and joints. Sometimes I do some strange photo cropping when I'm feeling insecure about my fingers. Sorry about that! I'm also sorry that my photos aren't crazy awesome...I'm in desperate need of a better camera.

Now, nail polish!

For my first post on here, I'll show you guys Indigo Bananas Rez. Rez is a duochrome (shifts from purple to a blue/green/seafoam situation) and also contains silver, black, and purple glitters. The formula was great, didn't have any trouble with application. It did seem a bit slow to dry, but I use fast-dry topcoats, so that didn't really matter to me. I used two coats of Indigo Bananas Rez and two coats of Seche Vite (which caused some shrinkage at the cuticles, whoopsie!)

About Me

I'm a 26-year-old who loves nail polish far too much! I got into this mess a little under a year ago when I got engaged and didn't want anyone to catch sight of my ugly, peeled, and bitten nails when checking out my ring. I can proudly say that I haven't bitten/peeled my nails since then!

Due to some medical issues affecting my hands, I will likely never have perfect nail shapes and pretty poses. I hope that you can look past the imperfect canvas and enjoy the swatches, art, and reviews anyway.
